By Sara Newberry I am sometimes mystified by Dallas diners. There seems to be a deep and abiding love for average to mediocre food in this town. Places like Idle Rye and The Blind Butcher, who served well-crafted, interesting food, are closing their doors, while spots that are serving unseasoned and uninspiring plates are doing […]
By David Mullen In my last column, I reviewed the Major League Baseball parks in the National League. Lucky enough to have seen a Major League Baseball game in every park, this week we will review the American League venues as many families like to mix in a baseball game as part of their summer […]
By Dr. Beth Leermakers Like thousands of other DFW residents, I lost power during the recent storm. After realizing that I had nothing to eat that didn’t require electricity, my concern shifted to my dogs’ safety and comfort. I worried about my senior dog, who is more vulnerable to the heat due to his age. […]
By Shari Goldstein Stern If it’s June, it must be time for “another openin’ another show,” presented by Patty Granville and Garland Summer Musicals (GSM) in partnership with Eastfield College. The 2019 season takes audiences to a Greek island for its premiere of “Mamma Mia!” and patrons left the first performance with smiles and some […]

For writer/director Jim Jarmusch, a filmmaker noted for his minimalist style, his hot take on American consumerism has nary a subtle point and seems […]

By David Mullen With summer vacations being planned, many people like to work in a baseball game as part of their itinerary. I have been lucky enough to see a baseball game in every major league park. Tommy Donahue, manager at Milo Butterfingers at SMU Boulevard and Greenville Avenue, is the only other person that […]
By Shari Goldstein Stern Everyone knows that Texas does everything bigger. When an already gigantic musical includes three Texans in the cast, it’s the biggest, most memorable spectacle on stage, which best describes Dallas Summer Musicals’ (DSM) current production of “Disney’s Aladdin” (Aladdin) at the Music Hall at Fair Park through June 23. The National […]
By Chic DiCiccio It’s a shame “Dark Phoenix” is the last entry in the X-Men franchise that Fox (bought out by Disney) will be producing. It would be interesting to see if they could screw up the same story for a third time. The fascinating aspect of this $200 million disaster is that the impressive […]
